Howdy folks, I wanted to share a bit more about this amazing Android gaming device that launched last year on IGG. It is currently being delivered to folks, and is by far one of the best gaming handhelds running on Android.
Before breaking down the information, I do want to note that the Odin will enter the In-Demand phase, which means people can still back the Odin at retail price even after the last day of the campaign
If the information I collected here seems not accurate or if I missed something out, please feel free to point it out in the comments, and I'll be glad to address it.
Additionally, many users have now tested the performance of alot of other games and systems, including Playstation 2 (AetherSX2) in our community sheet. Click here to check it out.
The following picture showcases an Odin SuperDock being placed under an intense stress test: 2*USB SSD + 1*2.5 inch hard disk + 4K HDMI + 2 GC controller + ethernet + 2000mA
I hope this information can be a good reference if you were curious about the Odin. If there is any other piece of information you are curious about, let me know and I'll be glad to answer your questions!
